Who is counting down to September with me.
« on: May 21, 2006, 03:21:31 AM »
I noticed a lot of us are waiting for September or at least some part of the summer.  Just wanted to see if anyone had an ingenious way of counting the summer down together????

Me! Me!  I'm waiting for September 19th.  I try counting in two week increments because half a month seems like long time, but two weeks doesn't seem like too long.  So right now I'm waiting for the first weekend in June, which seems so close, since Memorial Day is next weekend.  Then it will be 3 and a half months until I leave and 3 months until I can quit my job!  And 3 and half months sounds like way less time than 4 months.  I don't know if any of this actually makes sense to you, but it sure does to me.

Other than that I'm picking my next "milestone" and just focusing on that.  I get to go out to lunch on Monday.  I am going to visit my family for Memorial Day weekend.  My anniversary is June 28th.  I'm getting a haircut on June 30th.  I have a family reunion on July 15th.  I have two summer work parties (dates unknown).  I have to ship things and apply for my visa in July or August (depending on husband's job situation).  I'm quitting my job on September 1st, 8th, or 15th.  Then there's all the pets' stuff to take care of.  And my dog gets weighed on the 17th of each month so that I can get his heartworm medicine.

Mostly I'm just really anxious for Gavin to get a job and find a flat/house, and for my time here to be up.  Counting down a little at a time helps, slightly.

I am counting down till Sept 2 when I fly out......so we can count down together?  YIPPY!  Makes me feel less alone.  I have some mile stones as well.  I can't wait to quit all three of my jobs, the dog is being taken care of and I use the ticker at the bottom of my page to keep track.  My next mile stone is (as mentioned 1 billion times before) is selling my car.....moving out of the apartment and some other things. 

I am moving to Knodishall which is about 30 mins outside of Ipswich, on the East coast of England.

I'm counting down to September, cause then it'll be almost October!  ;)  (I'm moving on Halloween)

I don't know any ingenious ways of counting down the summer.  I've found that my time back in the US is going faster than I expected, though.  We all just have to keep busy! :)

We are planning to get married in September (27th) visa permitting, I have set myself the mini target date of Aug 16th as that is the day I am hoping to fly him over here for GOOD - via Ireland - yay minibreak!  Although, quite how much of Dublin we see is yet to be seen!   :-X

up4tea will be joining our countdown too - I think she flys out on the 6th.  Hmmm, do you really think we could have one UKY member in the air each day of September?   :D  That would be kind of funny. 

3 months, 3 weeks and 6 days!
